·eta

When a user asks how long a task will take, requests a time estimate, or before starting any non-trivial coding task, immediately run scripts/estimate_task.py to analyze the codebase scope and provide a data-driven time estimate. Show the estimate breakdown, risk factors, and checkpoint recommendations without asking.

SKILL.md

Provides realistic time estimates for coding tasks before work begins. Users often underestimate task complexity. This skill analyzes codebase scope, categorizes task complexity, identifies risk factors, and calculates estimates based on measured Claude Code performance baselines. Prevents surprise delays and enables better planning.

Input: "How long will it take to add user authentication?"
